You have the right idea. You just need to switch out some parts.

The cpu is plenty strong enough. The psu is strong enough but not reliable enough.

The psu is strong enough but not reliable enough.

It is reliable

Decent unit.

You are right. That is a good psu. I was thinking of a different unit made by Enhance.

Won't tht cpu bottleneck the 980ti? #4460insteadof4590

 

[lolmaxgg]

The psu is strong enough but not reliable enough.

It is reliable

Decent unit.

What if I swap it with CM G750M (80+ Bronze)? Is it reliable too for 980 ti?

 

[RCFProd]

No, that one isn't.

4590 will perform like the 4460 in games.

H97 PRO4 instead of the Anniversary is recommended. More and better features.

So is my build good to go? I'm waiting for experts like you guys to approve this pc build. thx

 

[CTurbo]

The EVGA B2 750w is by far the best deal on psus in the 550-750w range.

The 4590 is $12 more than the 4460. It's 300mhz faster. That's a toss up. Either would be fine.

Using a locked i5, there would be zero performance difference between the Anniversary and the Pro4. The Pro4 offers no meaningful features that the Anniversary lacks.

Your build is ok. I like mine better and I bet mine is cheaper.

Definitely has meaningful features lad. Extra PCIE Slots and what not can definitely be meaningful. Let it be a sound card or something else.

Also, the difference between the 4460 and 4590 is even smaller. 100 Mhz instead of 300 Mhz.

I would consider the B85 Pro4 if the H97 Pro4 is no option. It's also better.

Are these features necessary?
ASRock Super Alloy
- Premium Alloy Choke (Reduces 70% core loss compared to iron powder choke)
- NexFET™ MOSFET
- Sapphire Black PCB

Look, can you spend 1200 dollars? Because with only an additional 50 dollars comes excellent components in return. An i5-4690k with a Z97 motherboard and a nice case.

I would advice this build. Overclock is going to come in handy with the GTX 980 Ti in games like Battlefield 4.

I really like your build too. But just kind of worried that the 980ti will be underutilized. And also what's your opinion if I swap that psu with CM G750M 750watt psu?

 

[CTurbo]

i5 4460 - 3.2ghz base, 3.4ghz turbo
i5 4590 - 3.3ghz base, 3.7ghz turbo


The H97 Anniversary is fine. If you REALLY need to feel like you're getting a better board, get the H97 PERFORMANCE that's a couple $ cheaper than the Pro4 and is actually a better board.

No. Get this-

My problem is that in my country the retailer shop only gives me 2 mobo options one is Asrock motherboards and the other is Asus. Your build is just almost $100 more compared to his.

[CTurbo]

Just stick with a locked i5 + H97

 

[CTurbo]

Next time you need to say which country you're in in your first post so we know not to waste out time with US spec builds.

What about this build guys? Its almost the same price.

 

[RCFProd]

Do not get the Z97M Anniversary. Better off buying a H97 motherboard than overclocking that.

I'm sure you could afford the Z97 Pro4.

Can you explain to me why shouldn't I get the anniversary version better off with H97?? Yes, I can afford the Z97 Pro4.
